Data Network Administration for AI

Overview

Participants master high performance cloud network architectures for AI workloads including RDMA InfiniBand interconnects and ExpressRoute ingestion pathways.

What you'll learn

  • Participants configure Azure Virtual Networks with subnets custom routing tables and security groups optimized for HPC workloads.
  • Participants construct isolated network boundaries to maximize internal cluster throughput and prevent external traffic overhead.
  • Participants deploy RDMA and InfiniBand configurations on Azure N-Series virtual machines to enable low latency node clustering.
  • Participants utilize Azure Network Watcher and packet captures to troubleshoot network latency and packet drop issues.
  • Participants analyze all reduce synchronization patterns across cluster nodes to resolve model convergence delays.
  • Participants establish secure Azure ExpressRoute links and traffic engineer high velocity data ingestion pathways.
